An Excellent Source of Sacred Wisdom

I must read for comparison and contrast of sacred text. Karenga is unequalled in his re-interpretation. You will not be disappointed.
Outstanding!!

Karenga has done a wonderful piece in the Husia! I take this book as a counteraction to all self-help books by modern authors. Of who most of them have had some sort of power in one area or another. But who better for Africans to read than our own people of power about how to realize their blessings and priviledges that the Most High has put upon them in any given sitution. I love this book because it translate African minds of the past when power and domination was our footstool. And how we didn't use these blessings to produce negative thinking and action. And how we always gave prasie to the one who help bestowed those great achievements for us. I take this book as a holistic mental and emotional playbook. To see any sitution better side! And to remind us that nothing is new under ATEN-RA. And if you stay in the heights of the positive you would be able to see clearer all the blessing we have! TUA NTR KARENGA!!!
Excellent source of spiritual and practical life sessons

I would like to applaud Dr. karenga and all of those who helped to make this project a reality. There is no substitute for speaking your own truth, from your own mouth, in your own way. I think that this document should be required reading for all aspiring clergy and other people of good will. The only remaining challenge relative to this book is for Dr. Karenga and others is to expand upon this great, historic work by conducting further retranslations and expanding the legacy.
